~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~John Eley passes ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ear. ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ born in Chambersburg, ~~~~~~~~~~~ county, pa., in July 1803. ~~~grandfather, Christian Eley, was a native of germany, but emigrated to America at an early date. He removed to Ohio in 1835 and has lived near to, or in Wooster for the past fifty five years. He was in every aspect in which you can remember or contemplate him, a self-made man. He began life penniless, unless the craft of a cooper was the equivalent of money. But by industry, energy, persererance and economy he overcame the obstacles that intercepted him and made his life a successful experiment. His vocation was that of a farmer and cooper, until within the past fifteen years, when he sought retirement, comming to Wooster, buying property, and making the city his home. But although having left his farm, and abandoned the harder pursuits of life, even in his retirement he could not be inactive. He must still be at work on his premises, repairing, building, adding, shaping things to his convenience and ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~bore the weight of time, as ~~~~~~~~~~ he laughted under the weight of youth. He had, though his early life enjoyed remarkably good health, owing to his powerful constitution, his correct habits and his active disposition. He had acquired a competence of this world's goods.

"The hunt, the shot, the glorious chase.
The captured elk, or deer;
The camp, the big, bright fire, and then
The rich and wholesome cheer."

* * * * * * * * *

"He shunned not labour; when 'twas due
He wrought with right good will:
And for the homes he won for them
His children bless him still."

He was joined in marriage to Miss Mary Dice, of Franklin county, Pa., in 1825, eight children being the result of this union; Samuel, an infant unnamed, Catherine, Margaret, John M., Stephen, Elijah and Sarah, four of whom are living; Margaret, widow, and wife of Enoch Smith, live on the old farm; John M. is in business in Toledo~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~

Beer's Biographical Record of Wayne County

John Eley. This well-known resident of the city of Wooster comes of German ancestry, and was born in Franklin County, Penn., in July, 1803. His grandfather, Christian Eley, came from  Germany, and settled in the county and State above named, where his son John, the father of our subject, was born. John Eley, Sr. was a Revolutionary soldier, was in Washington's army, and  died in Franklin County in 1835. His widow, who was a Miss Mary Neff, afterward moved to  Indiana, where she died. She bore her husband seven children. of whom the subject of this sketch and his brother David are the sole survivors.
    John Eley, whose name heads this sketch had the advantage of the old-time pay school, and when a boy began learning of his father the trade of  coopering, which he followed for forty years. in 1825 he was united in marriage with Miss Mary Dice, a native of Franklin County, Penn., with whom he lived in happy wedlock for nearly sixty years. She died in January, 1883, aged seventy-three years. Seven children were born of their union, as follows: Margaret, now Mrs. Enoch Smith, in East Union Township, this county; John in
Toledo, Ohio; Stephen living near Toledo; Sarah, wife of George Winters, of Toledo; Samuel, Elijah and an unnamed infant(deceased). Mr. Eley has been the architect of his own fortunes.
   He started in life without a dollar. His only capital being the trade taught him by his father. A long life of industry and thrift brought its fitting recompense, however, and to-day, in his old age,
he is in possession of a hard-earned and well deserved competence. he and his faithful wife reared their children to be good men and women, and before the mother's departure the parents had the
happiness of seeing their offspring all well settled in life, and occupying honorable positions in society.
   In his political convictions Mr. Eley has always been a Democrat, but liberal in his ideas, and tolerant of the opinions of others. He and his beloved wife were for many years members of the Lutheran Church. He has spent many years in Wayne County, where his worth as a man and a citizen has always been recognized and appreciated, and where he has ever borne an honorable name and repute, and he has done his to promote the prosperity of his  adopted home. His children established in homes of their own, and his devoted wife gone to her reward, the venerable father and widower now in his eighty-sixth year, is living alone, calmly awaiting the summons
which shall reunite him to his long-loved companion on the other shore.
